The National Monuments Service's description

On elevated rough pasture but with restricted views, within a multiperiod field system (CL005-104001-). Indicated on the 1916 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. An irregularly shaped enclosure (23m SW-NE; 18m SE-NW) defined by a loose stone wall (Wth 1.8m) of slabs set on their side. Curvilinear slab walls radiate off this enclosure at WSW and ENE and a rectangular field which appears part of the wider multiperiod field system extends off it at NW. The site has been severely truncated by a N-S orientated routeway.
